I visited Lake Tahoe as a child and learned to ski here. Fond memories of summer adventures are etched in my mind as well. However, it wasn't until I moved to the area full time in my early twenties that I truly began my apprenticeship into the alchemy of light and weather, of texture and color, and rhythm and pattern that made Lake Tahoe the singular and significant site that it is. Almost twenty years later, I feel that I have barely scratched the surface of the complexity of Lake Tahoe, and I look forward to manifesting ever more quintessential and exquisite photographs of the region as my own ability to perceive matures and improves.

The mountains, the air, and most of all the lake....
